Adam’s Big Leap: Skydiving to Support Multiple Sclerosis Care and Research


Richard (L) & Adam (R)


On Sunday 1 June, Adam Bath took a huge leap in support of a cause very close to his heart. He completed a skydive in Brackley, Northamptonshire to raise money and awareness for the Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre and the MS Society.


This was much more than a one-off thrill. For Adam, it was a personal and emotional mission inspired by his dad, Richard, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) nine years ago. MS is a progressive autoimmune condition that affects the brain and spinal cord, often causing a range of physical and cognitive disabilities. Since Richard’s diagnosis, life for the Bath family has changed in many ways, with some of the simple things others take for granted becoming more difficult.

"As most of you know, my amazing dad, Richard, has multiple sclerosis. As a family, we missed out on doing a lot of 'normal' things people take for granted," Adam said.

A major support for Richard has been the Bedford MS Therapy Centre, which he attended weekly. The centre provides vital therapies to help manage the condition and improve quality of life. It receives no government funding and relies entirely on donations. It costs around £1,400 a day to keep the centre open and running.

"It was an absolute life saver for him," Adam shared.

Adam also raised money for the MS Society, which funds research into better treatments and a potential cure for the condition. Supporting both organisations meant helping people living with MS today and contributing to a better future for those yet to be diagnosed.


How You Can Still Help


Adam set up a JustGiving page for donations, and support has already been incredible. Every donation makes a difference, no matter how small.



Whether you came to Brackley to watch the skydive or supported Adam from home, your encouragement and generosity meant the world.


Adam’s leap was more than just a challenge. It was a show of love, strength and commitment to making life better for people with MS.
